He is giving diplomacy a chance.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But he added that &#8220;additional military assets are moving into the region.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. paused strikes against Iran Friday and Saturday night after 13 straight days of bombing following the collapse in early July of a nearly three-month ceasefire. On Sunday, Tehran also paused its strikes. Over the last two days, <span class=\"link\">Iranian officials and their Omani counterparts<\/span> have been having discussions that have been constructive, one Iranian official told CBS News on Sunday. Waltz praised Oman&#8217;s efforts during his conversation with Brennan. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Waltz also brought up reports that indicated the depletion of some types of weapons was a point of concern for the administration. He called it &#8220;nonsense that we don&#8217;t have the assets that we need.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not only do we have what we need in theater, there&#8217;s more moving into theater,&#8221; Waltz told Brennan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>CBS News <span class=\"link\">reported last week<\/span> that the rapid pace at which the U.S. is expending some of its most advanced air-defense interceptors and precision-guided weapons in the Middle East is a point of great tension inside the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>The public has concerns about the war, too, with most Americans describing their feelings about it as &#8220;uncertain&#8221; or &#8220;frustrated,&#8221; according to a <span class=\"link\">CBS News poll<\/span> published Sunday. It also found that while it remains important to Americans to open the Strait of Hormuz, stop Iran&#8217;s nuclear program and its threats against the region, they think the conflict is not going well.<\/p>\n<p>Senators Bernie Sanders and John Kennedy differ on what the U.S. should be doing in Iran. Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with Democrats and has opposed the Iran war from the outset, told Brennan on &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; that it&#8217;s time for the U.S. to resume diplomacy with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s sit down. Let&#8217;s negotiate with them. Let&#8217;s stop the killing,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Let&#8217;s stop the devastation to our economy, which is raising gas prices, prices all across the board. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve got to do. Sit down, negotiate. Let&#8217;s end this war.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy, a Republican senator from Louisiana, appeared on &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; after Sanders and listened to his interview.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bernie wants to just come home. He wants to turn out the lights, make sure the cat&#8217;s inside, and go to bed,&#8221; Kennedy told Brennan.\u2029&#8221;That would be a huge, huge mistake.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think we ought to just cut and run. If we can stand the pain of the rising cost of energy, we need to stay the course at least for a few more months. I also don&#8217;t think we need to send in troops.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy also told Brennan, &#8220;We ought to tighten the sanctions on the sale of Iranian oil. I think we ought to continue the blockade and starve them out.&#8221; He said the U.S. &#8220;ought to bomb&#8221; Pickaxe Mountain, a suspected nuclear site buried deep under rock, &#8220;and try to reach what&#8217;s underneath it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
